The slice() method selects a subset of matching elements based on their indices.

A subset is a collection that may be part of a larger collection.

$(selector).slice(start, end)

From index number2Start selecting <p> elements from the <p> element:

Example

$("document").ready(function(){
　　$("p").slice(2).css("background", "coral");
});

Select <p> elements from start to end using two parameters:

Example

$("document").ready(function(){
　　$("p").slice(2,　4).css("background", "coral");
});

Use negative numbers to start selecting <p> elements instead of counting from the beginning:

Example

$("document").ready(function(){
　　$("p").slice(-4).css("background", "coral");
});

Parameter	Description
start	Specify where to start the subset. The first element is zero. You can start from the end of the selection by using negative numbers
end	Specify where to end the subset (excluding the closing element). If not specified, the subset ends at the selection end.
